Impressive anti-WBC rant by Dave F earlier, I share a lot of his reservations and criticisms. Dave F, if you're still about, was it back stage at JazzWorld that was taken over by the WBC? The choice of beer (and atmosphere) backstage there was definitely inferior in 2008 to how it was in 2007, as far as I remember ... </crew intalk :lol: >

Yesterday I tried an ale i hadn't tasted before Adnams Reggata. It was most pleasent indeed, not a fantsatic ale, but very very good. I recomend it to anybody who happens to see it in a pub near them.

Milds are under-rated. Mild doesn't mean lacking in flavour, as most people assume. If you're in London, the Speaker in Great Peter Street between Parliament and Victoria is a pub that seems to specialise in good milds!

Yeah, the Red Flag in the acoustic field has a great range of real ales. At least, ooh, five on draught.

BUMP!

For anyone that is a discerning ale drinker. Join us at...

12 Noon Thursday

at The Red Flag

on the left just inside the Acoustic Field

No lists, no need to have your named confirmed, just turn up and say Hi :D

It will be a pre-drink drink, before moving down to the cider bus later for the main meet.

Hi folks, I am an ale-loving lady too. (Pints not halves!) Def agree with the Bimble Inn and Red Flag for ales last year - but has anyone noted this little announcement on the new 'Areas' pages of TOS - it seems there is a newcomer to Avalon for 2009:

"The Avalon Inn: Glastonbury’s first spit and sawdust, half timbered, old English pub. Real ale, cider or even a cup of mead served by a buxom wench with storytelling, musicians, magicians and wandering buskers."

I reluctantly share this info (I don't want everyone to drink all the ale after all) but it sounds like you may have to include this on the trail too??? :) xx

Ale line-up reference spotted:

Taskmaster burst the bionic zit-splitter

Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter

We lean all day and some say that ain't productive

That depend upon the demons that you're stuck with

Cause right now, I see clearer than most

I sit here contending with this cheese on toast

I feel the pain of a third world famine

Segue, we count them blessings and keep jamming

Witness the fitness by the fantastic UK hiphop artists Roots Manuva!

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
